What do you think? and a crafty woman question

SO I attempted to be crafty and make a mobile for our baby girls nursery. Now my problem is I dont know how to hang it. I saw on the martha stewart website she used some wire criss cross thing to hang it but I cant find that. I went to michaels and just had no luck. Anyone else make a mobile? What did you use to hang it with? AND

 What do you think of my craftiness? I think it turned out pretty good if I could just find a way to hang it. imageimage" mce_src="image">

    That's just darn cute!! I haven't seen what Martha Stewart used, but I would imagine you could make it out of wire coathangers if you wanted. I know they sell XL metal rings for making dreamcatchers at Hobby Lobby that could work. You might be able to paint some thin wooden strips white and fasten them to the ceiling that way, so they would be more flush with the ceiling. What are they up with now?

    I used clear fishing line and tape just to see if I liked how they turned out.

    I like it as is! I am a little partial though, I made the same exact tissue balls for our wedding, HUNDREDS of them :) I filled our whole reception hall with them and it looked great! I think the varrying lengths you  have got there create a modern mobile-esque look anyway! Great job :)

    they have tiny screws at any hardware store that have a loop on one end you could tie the string to the loop and just screw it directly into the ceiling.  I used one for the mobile i made and it worked great and kept it looking sleek.

    I don't have any suggestions on how to hang it b/c I have not attempted one myself. But, that is SO cute! Now I am interested in trying to make my own! Where did you get the instructions on how to make it??

    I found this website months ago, here is the direct link to the mobiles section. Some pictures you can see how they were hung from the ceiling. I hope this is somewhat helpful. BTW, your mobile is cute!

    I was just looking up how to make mobiles yesterday.  One of the tutorials used embroidery hoops to attach the shapes to...
